| Bobby Darin was a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter and Oscar-nominated actor, whose heyday was the late '50s and '60s, and what a life he led! And Darin dared to sing in all styles: pop, rock 'n' roll, jazz, country and folk. Elvis was a friend who'd sneak into Darin's shows to watch him perform. Darin took showtunes, like ''Mack the Knife'' (from ''The Threepenny Opera'') and ''Artificial Flowers'' (from ''Tenderloin''), and turned them into hits. Other Darin classics include: ''Beyond the Sea,'' ''Dream Lover'' and ''Splish Splash,'' and I can't wait to hear Jonathan Groff tackle them all with gusto. Groff told the N.Y. Times: ''I went on YouTube ... & watched all [his] TV performances, and I was blown away by his versatility. ... His life was insane.'' Nostalgia will bring in the older audiences, but Groff's popularity will bring in the younger ones, and I bet he'll introduce Bobby to them with glee. |
